Definition: ZEOLITE |
ZEOLITENoun1. A term now used to designate any one of a family of minerals, hydrous silicates of alumina, with lime, soda, potash, or rarely baryta. Here are included natrolite, stilbite, analcime, chabazite, thomsonite, heulandite, and others. These species occur of secondary origin in the cavities of amygdaloid, basalt, and lava, also, less frequently, in granite and gneiss. So called because many of these species intumesce before the blowpipe. |

Chemistry | A group of alumino-silicates containing very loosely held water and cations, used in molecular sieves and ion exchangers. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | A generic term for class of hydrated silicates of aluminum and either sodium or calcium or both, of the type Na2 O.Al2 O3 .nSiO2 .xH2 O . The term originally described a group of naturally occurring minerals. The natural zeolites are analcite, chabazite, heulandite, natrolite, stilbite, and thomsonite. Artificial zeolites are made in a variety of forms, ranging from gelatinous to porous and sandlike, and are used as gas adsorbents and drying agents as well as water softeners. Both natural and artificial zeolites are used extensively for water softening. The term zeolite now includes such diverse groups of compounds as sulfonated organics or basic resins, which act in a similarmanner to effect either cation or anion exchange. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Zeolites are minerals that have a porous structure.
In chemistry, zeolites are used to separate molecules (only molecules of certain sizes and shapes can come through), as traps for molecules so they can be analyzed or as catalysts by confining molecules in small spaces, which may cause slight changes in their structure.
